BIG year

This week we heard from the NGA...Josh got his start date. He got two and was able to choose which one he wanted. March 15th or April 26th? Well let's see, March 15th is in about 2 weeks so we chose April 26th. We are excited to move, but I don't think we could do it in 2 weeks!
About a week and a half ago Josh was looking at airline tickets to Saint Louis and found a great deal for a weekend trip, Feb 27-Mar 1. We decided to go and look at houses and get to know the area, knowing that we wouldn't be able to actually buy any house until we knew our start date, that we would just go and look. Little did we know a week later that we would get our start date! Josh was totally inspired to just randomly say, "Lets go to Missouri!". I'm so glad that I agreed, otherwise we would be looking for tickets now and may not have found the deal that we did!
So we leave tomorrow morning...early...way too early...and we hope to find one we like enough to put an off on! We are so excited!!
This is a BIG year for us: career, house, baby!
We've decided that when we get there that I will stay at home with the baby. Since we are moving there in April and I'm not due till September, I will have plenty of time to get the house ready and all the baby stuff together! Depending on how much I have to do I may look at a temp job or something for extra money, we'll see.
That's all for now, we'll post when we get back!

Update

So last Thursday I had my first doctor appointment, it was 2 hours! They did the full physical exam and everything and she answered any questions we had and also gave us a lot of information. She said everything looked good, except that she expects me to gain a lot more weight! I was 106 lbs. that morning! I was surprised myself because I haven't been that low in a while but also wasn't because that week was really bad. I definitely wasn't eating as much as I normally do. So sick! I'm back up to my 108 and not feeling too much better but making myself eat. Yesterday I had to get blood drawn for all the tests & screenings. Thank goodness Josh was there. I guess I better get used to pain and needles seeing as I'm having a baby in 7 1/2 months. (crazy!) I go back to my doctor next Wednesday for an ultrasound! I'm so excited!
